Using MGTs in FPGA designs: Why the data is organized in packets

Introduction I ll start with a correction: Indeed, application logic transmitting data from one FPGA to another is required to organize the data in some kind of packets or frames, but there s one exception, which I ll discuss later on: Xillyp2p. Anyhow, let s take it from the beginning. Multi-Gigabit Transceivers (MGTs, sometimes also referred to as RocketIO, [...]
